To be fair, the 425 had 320 lbs / ft of torque, which is about the same as your Mazda5 and 525i combined.

It’s based on the physical size of the block, not the displacement.

Profit margins.

I disagree with you... we the DeMuro fan gang and the Torch fan gang must now get jackets and have a jazz-fight in the street with snapping fingers.

Dunno. DeMuro’s hyperbole opens up hitherto undiscovered possibilities of the English language to inform, entertain AND make you spill your coffee. Virtually every word he writes is priceless.

Did you press OK to acknowledge the insult?

Closer to 4.0. They had that big re-jiggering that took them very close to the post-break Top Gear format, back with Clarkson, Tiff(from 5th gear), Tom Boswell and Tony Mason. Set viewership records that were not broken till 9 seasons in for the Clarkson/May/Hammond team. They just didn’t have the break in between and…

Eh. I suppose. I’m assuming the new show won’t actually be called ‘Top Gear’ or on the BBC, so that’s my reasoning. They could call it ‘Horseshit’ and I’ll still watch at least the first season..

This is like needing a walk-off home run to win the World Series, and the opposing pitcher throws the ball to you underhand while the rest of his team sits down on the grass and checks their Twitter.

What do I get for getting bombed on some sweet Afghani honey oil ?

I had taco bell and just bombed the hell out of the bathroom, can a Saudi prince atleast buy me a ford focus for my efforts?

“I didn’t expect to be single. I’m not prepared; I didn’t keep this sh*t up, you understand? I didn’t maintain any of this at presentation condition, its function only...It’s like having a ‘73 Dodge Dart in your backyard and it’s been sitting back there with grass growing. You don’t have any— It’s not an old mustang.…

Not only will a vinyl wrap help protect your paint from your neighbors key, but it will amp up the annoyance factor 10x. My only other suggestion is a kickstarter campaign for a motion sensing dash cam aimed at that wiper.

Underrated and overpriced. CP for that.

why on earth would you drop $9,500 on this? That would get you a TJ Wrangler with money left over to build it up.
